Items Required For Installation - HP StorageWorks Director 2/140 Installation Manual

• Obtain the required fiber-optic cables (multi-mode or single-mode). Verify cable length and
required connectors.
• Obtain an HP 19-inch equipment rack.
Verify that the front panel air temperature does not exceed 40 °C (104 °F) during operation.
•
NOTE: Height measurements are sometimes described in rail units (Us). One U is 1.75 in.
• Verify that there is space in the rack. The director is 12U (20 in) high.
• Verify that the rack is stable.
• If applicable, obtain the necessary remote workstations or Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) workstations. Workstations are customer-supplied and connected through a
corporate or dedicated LAN.
• Verify that all other equipment installed in the rack is connected to a reliable ground connection;
do not rely on connections to a branch circuit, such as a power strip.
• HP recommends securing the rack mechanically to prevent it from tipping over during a natural
disaster, such as an earthquake.

Items required for installation

Locate the following items before beginning the installation procedure:
• Lift device (recommended).
• Director 2/140.
• An HP 9000, HP 10000, HP 11000, HP system/e, or industry-standard 19-in rack, or any rack
with the following specifications:
• A minimum depth of 24.5 in.
• 19 in wide.
• A minimum opening size of 13U available (12U for the director and 1U for space
recommended for routing of cables).
• Two power outlets or different branches (for redundancy).
• Torque driver with cross-tip bit (for setting 22 in/lb. of torque).
• Fiber-optic protective plug—For safety and port transceiver protection, fiber-optic protective plugs
must be inserted in all director ports without fiber-optic cables attached. The director is shipped
with protective plugs installed in all ports.
• Null modem cable—An asynchronous RS-232 null modem cable is required to configure director
network addresses and obtain event log information through the maintenance port. The cable
has nine conductors and two DB-9 female connectors. A null modem cable specially designed
for this application is supplied with the Director 2/140.
• Standard flat-tip and cross-tip Phillips screwdrivers—required to remove, replace, adjust or
tighten various FRUs, chassis, or rack components.
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding cable with attached wrist strap—required when working
in and around the director card cage.
